The Indian Public Administration Association was established in 1969 with the aim of promoting professionalism among educators, researchers, and learners. The membership fee for lifetime membership is only Rs. 2000, which is considerably lower than that of other national and international organizations in the same field. This fee was last updated in 2016. Therefore, the organization has decided to seek donations from its teachers and scholars. The following members have generously contributed to IPAA through their contributions.
